Roseau, Dominica – March 24, 2025 – Blossom Dominica and Finesse Beauty proudly present the 2nd Annual Afro-Caribbean 2025 Edition – Fashion Time-Travel Event! Get ready for an electrifying night where history, culture, and fashion collide in a spectacular celebration of Dominica’s heritage. Set for Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 5:30 PM at the Anchorage Hotel, this year’s event promises to be bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than ever.
Following last year’s incredible success, “Dominica’s Story Comes to Life” returns with a brand-new theme: “The First Settlers”—a captivating journey through the trials, triumphs, and resilience of Dominica’s earliest inhabitants. This year’s edition will take guests on an immersive experience through runway time-travel, from the roots of the Kalinago people to the vibrant, contemporary expressions of Afro-Caribbean culture today. Expect a jaw-dropping fusion of fashion, storytelling, spoken word, and high-energy performances that bring the island’s history to life.
The night’s highlight includes a special guest performance by renowned Dominican artist Michele Henderson. Other featured segments include an evolution of Dominican fashion, from traditional Kalinago attire to modern adaptations inspired by the colors of the Dominican flag, alongside spoken word poetry, an open-mic session, and a runway showcase of national wear both traditional and contemporary.
Speaking on the evolution of the event, Kimara Matthew, CEO and Founder of Blossom Dominica and Finesse Beauty, expressed her excitement for this year’s expanded edition. “This second edition is not just a show—it’s a cultural movement. We are diving deeper into our roots, honoring our heritage, and creating a space where storytelling, music, and fashion unite. It’s a moment for Dominicans, both at home and abroad, to embrace and celebrate who we are.”
